PLS (Park-Like Setting)Craftsmen

The addition of third rapper Yy to the previous duo of mcenroe and John Smith was a brilliant decision that brings just a little bit more of the quirky (and nasal) to Park-Like Setting. PLS are still working the concepts, with songs that compare rap artists to "Craftsmen and the independent label to the hockey-style "Small Market Team, but they also get playful with the Karate Kid lesson of "Wax On, Wax Off, eschew the pleasures of independence on "The Boss of Me, and rock a "standard posse cut with Pip Skid, Gruf, Satchill Paige, Evil, Birdapres and Cadence Weapon. As usual, mcenroe constructs an albums worth of intricate instrumentals with smooth instruments and sounds nailed down by crisp drum beats. Along with his typical use of pianos, violins and flutes, mcenroe brings out a lot more unusual sounds this time around, using creepy vocal sighs on "Craftsmen, subtle steel drums on "The Boss of Me, and Asian-influences for "DFA. Its beyond me why more rappers arent bugging this guy for production. Also, for those keeping track, Craftsmen contains the latest instalment of P&C Cribs for Yy.
